Bollywood cannot be complete without its naach ganas. Hence filmmakers leave no stone unturned to make the songs and dance picturisation mesmerizing. Millions of rupees are spent to shoot a single song. In a single song the hero and heroine change umpteen attires and locations. Budget for picturising a song many times goes haywire but producers don’t mind until the end result is incredible.

Recently Aditya Chopra spent over 5 Crores to shoot the song ‘Malang’ from Dhoom 3 (2014) featuring Aamir Khan and the sizzling Katrina Kaif. The highlight of the song was that along with Aamir Khan and Katrina over 200 professional gymnasts did daredevil acts making the song edge of the seat thriller.

The song was publicized as Indian Cinema’s most expensive shot ever. To make the claim authentic the report added that the shooting of the song took 20 days and the artist were trained in the US.

Besides this Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha starrer BOSS (2013) had a song 'Party All Night' that was reportedly shot for a budget of Rs 6 Crore thus claiming to be film industry’s most expensive shot ever!

However filmmaker Rohit Shetty declined to believe as he stated that he had shot the song ‘Tha Kar Ke… for his movie GOLMAAL RETURNS in 2008 at the cost of Rs 6 Crore!!

Now there are reports about Sajid Khan’s song 'Piya Ka Bazaar…' for his forthcoming movie HUMSHAKAL being shoot for Rs. 2 crore and claims being made to be the most expensive song!!!

In the past Sanjay Leela Bhansali credited his song Dola Re Dola... in DEVDAS as the most expensive song.

One wonders are these figures given in media genuine or are just publicity stunts to promote their movies.

RajeshRoshan, the splendid music composer who has the reputation of giving several
hits for his elder brother Rakesh Roshan’s movies like KAHO NAA... PYAAR HAI,
KOI... MIL GAYA, KISHEN KANHAIYA, KHOON BHARI MAANG etc. has also the
distinction of giving multiple memorable songs for other films like JULIE,
YAARANA, MR. NATWARLAL, KHATTA MEETHA, INKAAR etc. However it’s a tragedy that
the film industry has failed to exploit his potential to the hilt.

The
eminent music director will turn 59 on May 24. Raaga.Com wishes him birthday
greetings and prays for his good health and a prosperous career in Bollywood.

In
an interview Rajesh Roshan had said, “Mehmood bhaijaan had a fine ear for
melodious music. Hence when he found that I had a command on sentimental songs
he decided to take a gamble on me.” He continues, “When he told me about a
soulful lullaby (Aa Ri Aaja Nindiya… ) I immediately composed an emotional
tune. Bhaijaan ( Mehmood loving called ) closed his eyes and instantly approved
the tune.”

However
the most difficult song that made Rajesh Roshan go hysterical was the fulfilled
song 'Saj Rahi Gali..', sung by
Mohammed Rafi and picturised on eunuch (Hijras). Recalling the recording of the
song Rajesh goes nostalgic, “This was the first song that I recorded for the
movie. Bhaijaan had this wonderful idea to incorporate the voice of eunuchs. It
is the first song in the annals of Indian Cinema to be sung by the eunuchs.” He
informs, “Initially when Bhaijaan decided to have the original eunuchs sing the
song everybody began to laugh thinking Bhaijaan was joking but Bhaijaan was
serious.”

He
adds, “On the day of recording there were 15 eunuchs and there was complete
commotion in the recording room. After the recording I felt I had messed up
with song but Bhaijaan was confident that song will hit the bull’s eye. And as
expected the song became a national craze and topped the Binaca Geet Mala hit
parade on radio. In those days Binaca Geet Mala was the only countdown show
that had tremendous popularity, not only in India but in Asia. It was broadcast
from Sri Lanka Radio and anchored by Ameen Sayani.”

Birthdays
have always been fun! Birthdays are special for all of us as we celebrate the
happiness of our near and dear ones being a part of our life. Birthday’s
although make us older, we always feel young at heart while we celebrate our
birthday’s.

One
song that caught the attention recently in Sharreth’s music was from the movie
180, where we see the actress celebrating her birthday and the actor flooding
her with gifts. This song is ofcourse as we all know is the wonderful ‘NeeKorinal’ sung by Karthik.

Another
song where we see the heroine in a birthday party scene is in the movie ‘Ivan
vera maathiri’ which released last year. The song ‘Enna marandhean’ has caught
the attention of manyand is infact created a ripple for the kind of role
portrayed by the heroine.

A
beautiful song that brings the beauty of a baby being born is the song ‘Azhagu
kutty’ from the movie ‘Sattham Podathey’. Overall we all understand how
beautiful the occasion is. No wonder, we always say –‘Happy birthday’
